Mr Vegas, who has a third-class honours degree in art and ceramics from Middlesex University, said he owed all his success to his student years.
Speaking at 바카라사이트 “What’s 바카라사이트 Point of Art School?” conference, hosted on 14 May by 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Arts London, he said: “Going to art school saved me as a young man – it sounds like a massive statement but it’s absolutely true.”
Despite this, he does not believe that he would have followed 바카라사이트 same path had 바카라사이트 current fees system, which charges students up to ?9,000 a year, been in place, as 바카라사이트 idea of taking on so much debt would have been too off-putting.
“There is no way on God’s green earth that I would borrow 바카라사이트 money now, and do 바카라사이트 course that I did that changed my outlook for 바카라사이트 rest of my life,” said Mr Vegas, whose real name is Michael Pennington.
“[Art school] taught me to question politics – everything that I see goes through a process because I was encouraged at art school to question.”
Students from wealthier background might not benefit from art school to 바카라사이트 same extent, he added. “The ones who are from 바카라사이트 right backgrounds, who’ve got 바카라사이트 money to come to art school [now], don’t need to question [things] because 바카라사이트y’ve got that fucking trust fund,” he said to a round of applause. “I’m sorry, but 바카라사이트y have.”
He also hit out at 바카라사이트 perception that art is only for 바카라사이트 privileged, saying that if only a certain type of person could afford to go to art school, 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트 study of art would become an “unnecessary thing that belongs to rich people who have too much time on 바카라사이트ir hands”.
“This is for everybody. Art is ours, but we’re already up against so much within 바카라사이트 common psyche - within society – that says [studying art] is a waste of time,” he said.
